Everyone makes mistakes, especially when you start learning Chinese. Learn how to use the result complement 错 (cuò) to express making mistakes!
Structure
To express that an action resulted in an error, you can use a result complement with -错. This covers what is often expressed with the adverb "incorrectly" in English.
Obj. + Subj. + Verb + 错 + 了
Note that this sentence puts the object first as a topic.
Examples
- 这 个 字 你 写 错 了。You wrote this character wrong.
- 你 说 的 话 我 听 错 了。I misheard what you said.
- 我 记 错 了。I remembered wrongly.
As with all result complements, the -错 result complement works particularly well in a 把 sentence.
